and bounds with its quality programmes that are industry-relevant, coupled with its team of
dedicated and highly qualified lecturers and industry-standard facilities. The Business

With its long history and experience in offering the ideal environment in business education,
KDU Penang continues to enjoy its premier status as a business education provider in the
Northern region.

The KDU Penang’s Business Department has garnered much prestige when a partnership was
formed with the famous Keele University in the United Kingdom (UK) for its best-ranked 3+0
dual-major Keele Bachelors programme in Business Management.

Highly popular in the UK, the Keele Business programme is equally sought after by both local
and international students in Malaysia. Understanding the needs of the present professional
business world, KDU Penang delivers good-quality, high-value education by offering this
prestigious degree in the KDU Penang campus.

The dual honours degrees programmes include Keele University (3+0) B.A. (Hons) Business
Management and Finance, Keele University (3+0) B.A. (Hons) Business Management and
Human Resource Management and Keele University (3+0) B.A. (Hons) Business Management
and Marketing. The challenging Keele syllabi emphasise a high degree of critical and analytical
thinking to build up students’ ability in solving multi-disciplinary problems, all of which are
valuable skills in the working world.

Apart from the degree programmes, KDU Penang offers globally accepted quality Diploma in
Business which equips students with the academic knowledge and skills that allows them to
continue with their degree in Business-related studies either locally or internationally. With the
worldwide articulation acceptance as a plus point, students can progress to Year 2 of degree
studies offered by established universities in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Students with excellent academic standings may proceed to the final year of degree studies at
certain universities in United Kingdom.

The KDU Business programmes have gone through professional evaluation and are broadly
recognised by professional bodies such as MQA (Malaysian Qualifications Agency), SIRIM
Berhad (formally known as Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia) and CIMA
(Chartered Institute of Management Accountants), IPAA (Institute of Public Accountants of
Australia) and MAICSA (Chartered Secretaries Malaysia). Furthermore, the IPAA has accredited
the KDU Business diploma programme so that KDU Penang’s Business diploma graduates are
eligible for the IPAA membership.

KDU Penang is dedicated to providing a superior learning experience to ensure that its
graduates are well-prepared for the industry’s needs and expectations. Various hands-on
projects, experiential knowledge enhancement trips as well as sharing sessions by prominent
industry leaders have been incorporated into its tailored syllabus to expose and familiarise
students with the actual working environment.

KDU Penang is also proud to be the only private Business school in the Northern region to
provide distinct learning facilities such as its very own Business lounge where students can
interact and practise their skills in preparation for the real business environment. With the
support of an experienced and committed teaching team, coupled with well-equipped modern
